Due to its special structural design, straddle container lifters are usually used for lifting and loading and unloading small and medium-sized goods. Compared to other handling equipment, straddle container lifters have stronger flexibility and can perform efficient operations in limited spaces.
There are many classifications of straddle container lifters, including diesel drive, electric drive, and hybrid drive, as well as three wheel, four wheel, and multi wheel structures.
1. Diesel driven straddle container lifters
This type of straddle container lifters can provide a powerful source of power and is suitable for handling heavy goods. Diesel driven straddle container lifters can be used in various working environments and also perform very stably in complex working environments.
2. Electric straddle container lifters
The environmental performance of electric straddle container lifters has always been outstanding. Due to its electric drive, it can reduce carbon emissions and meet current environmental requirements. In addition, compared to diesel drive, the straddle container lifters operating in electric mode has lower noise and can improve the working environment.
3. Hybrid straddle container lifters
This type of straddle container lifters can effectively combine diesel and electricity, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Meanwhile, hybrid straddle container lifters can automatically switch between diesel and electricity based on the working environment and workload, achieving high efficiency, energy conservation, and operation.
4. 3-Wheeled straddle container lifters
Due to its lightweight structure, the 3-wheeled straddle container lifter is suitable for flat ground and relatively small workspaces. This type of straddle container lifters has a relatively small turning radius and is more suitable for operating in narrow or frequent turning scenarios. Due to the limited number of components, the equipment maintenance and upkeep costs for the 3-wheeled straddle container lifters are relatively low, reducing downtime.
5. 4-Wheeled straddle container lifters
This type of straddle container lifter is usually suitable for larger scale and complex terrain working environments. The 4-wheel design structure can provide better stability and balance, working in complex and uneven environments, and ensuring work safety. In addition, the 4-wheel design can better ensure stable progress of work in adverse weather conditions.
Due to its unique structural design, straddle container lifters have excellent performance in cargo loading and unloading.
1. Flexible handling and stacking
Straddle container lifters can flexibly lift, transport, and stack goods, quickly complete the transportation of goods, shorten the loading and unloading time of goods, improve work efficiency and space utilization.
2. Flexible operation
Straddle container lifters have smaller turning radii and can operate in narrow spaces. Meanwhile, it can also operate in different work areas. It has strong adaptability and does not require fixed tracks, reducing restrictions on site planning.
3. Independent handling capability
Straddle container lifters can independently complete the entire workflow of loading, unloading, and transportation without the need for cooperation from other lifting equipment. This can simplify the operation process and reduce capital investment.
4. High security performance
Automated straddle container lifters reduce the direct involvement of operators and can lower the risk of human errors. At the same time, straddle container lifters also have better balance, reducing the risk of cargo tilting or tipping over.
